Today we came across a very useful tool on the internet for your dog, it basically tells you what the ideal weight should be for your dog.

All you have to do is type in a few details about your dog, age, breed, etc and once you’ve entered your pets information in, it will then calculate the ideal weight your dog should be.

Unfortunately there are dog owners who feed their animals too much, the amount of time we see overweight dogs is getting quite frightening. Some dog owners think they are being kind to their pets by giving them the same food what us humans would eat on a day to day basis, but in reality they are hurting their dog. If a dog doesn’t eat a well balanced diet it can cause all sorts of health problems.

If you have time, do take a look at this website advising you on the correct weight for your pet – go to Pets Get Slim.

I felt the need to write a short article about our West Highland Terrier dog and what she has started to do with her dog food.

We always give our Westie dried Iams dog food with plenty of water nearby.

A couple of days ago I placed a cooked chicken in the fridge, and left it until lunchtime. Mitzi sat by the fridge, her nose touching the door for what seemed like hours!

Lunchtime arrived and by now Mitzi was begging, rolling over, doing all sorts of tricks, basically anything to get a little taste of this chicken. Giving in to her, I took one small slice of meat (cut into small pieces) and placed it amongst her dried food. Well I’ve never seen her go mad like this before! Her head was in her bowl immediately, hunting out these tiny bits of food. If you had never seen her before, you’d of thought she had not eaten for weeks the way she was going for it!

Luckily I had my camera nearby and managed to snap a couple of photographs of our Westie dog to show you the mess she made.

The only problem now is that whenever I place her bowl of Iams down she does the same thing, flirting dog biscuits just about everywhere whilst trying to find the invisible chicken she thinks is now always going to be in her dog bowl – bless her little Westie Socks.
